I'll go you one better - I don't even have Flash installed on my Mac
Mini and I haven't seen any problems seeing what I want to see on
YouTube - so I can only assume that the content I want to see is
available in HTML5, H.264, or something else not Flash-dependent.
Then there's that YouTube app on my iPap - certainly no Flash there. I
don't know if that trans-codes or what, but it works. Flashlessly.

Yes you can sign up for the html5 YouTube test, but not all videos will
play with HTML5. There are some restrictions:
--Videos with ads are not supported (they will play in the Flash player)
--On Firefox [includes SeaMonkey] and Opera, only videos with WebM
transcodes will play in HTML5
How can you tell the video is played using html5? I'm on the Mac so I
can kill (i.e. remove temporarily) the flash plugin process using the
activity monitor's quit process. Then I can check whether the flash
plugin is loaded when I play the YouTube video. If the flash plugin is
not loaded then the video was played using html5. (On other OSs you can
do this but I'm not sure how it is done.) When I killed the flash
plugin flash did not reload proving Youtube played the video using HTML5
(if there is an embedded ad in the video the video will play using flash.

It looks like YouTube dosen't support HTML5 for SM at all at this point:

It doesn't list SeaMonkey on that page, but if you click "Join the HTML5
Trial" it will work.
